Project Wetherspoons!!

[shaunbhoy]

So in your view alcoholics that just want to get drunk would prefer to go to relatively expensive pub where they'd probably have to buy a round to their "networking mates" instead of getting cheap ultra strong Tesco lager?

Social drinkers................. Money is no object..........as long as it is someone else's money.

You have to admire that guy (is he called Tim Martin?) who's managed to build an empire of JD Wetherspoons, despite the existing competition and the government interference. You don't get the really cheap deals outside of Jan/Feb, but it's still a thrill to buy a pint here in London for around £2. What I admire about the guy is he's perfectly prepared to change his policy if something isn't working. He had a policy of never accepting Euros (he was extremely Euro-sceptic) in his pubs, but stopped that immediately he realised he was missing out in certain tourist hot-spots. Also, televisions in pubs - at one time they were verboten in Wetherspoons pubs, but that policy's been changed. He's even allowed music in his pubs, although they come under the Lloyds bar brand.

Other than that I was in a wetherspoons today and they are getting 'proper job' in next month.

Last time I had that was in Newquay airport.

It's a decent brew and I for one am happy they are making an effort to get it up here.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. It don't travel well.
My eldest son used to work for St Austell's at their distribution depot a few miles from here. He got a good discount on their own brands. I preferred HSD and Admiral to Proper Job, with Tribute a distant fourth.
Add to that all of the free clobber he got by way of Polo shirts/t-shirts/fleecys etc. and it was not a bad little number for him.

I nearly drowned myself in HSD when I was down in Cornwall in the summer, was always sneaking off for a fly pint of the stuff. Great beer.

You can say what you want about me but the use of retard as an insult is not one we should be using on the board.
